Talk:Unified field theory

Introduction section
I would like to suggest that the introduction section be referenced by a known paper or physics book, as some may catch this in the future, and say it is not referenced, thus inaccurate, even though it is.--Craxd (talk) 20:50, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

I am at a loss to explain the number of physics (and other) pages on Wikipedia using the most abstract possible mathematical formalism to explain simple concepts. Should not the information be be as useful as possible to a general audience? A field: a set of one or more functions of the coordinates that give the value of a physical quantity (gravity, electricity, magnetism, etc.) at those locations. Done. A scalar field requires only a single function, while a vector field ... tensor field ... . Done. But "A global event￼ under the universal topology", "field is incepted", "opponent manifold"? I see this over and over again. I don't know that this helps people understand, please tell me I'm wrong.Bscip (talk) 14:41, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Clean up
Somebody should clean up the last few paragraphs under "Current Status". There's nonsense there about prayers and pyramids being built overnight... and of course absolutely no references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.37.152.229 (talk) 09:08, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Clean up section Fields in Introduction?
The section Fields in the Introduction is completely missing references and hyperlinks.It actually stands out like that.

It uses a number of terms like Global Events, Universal Topology, and Operational Environment that I can't find elsewhere. And it seems to be written by a single author with only a numeric IP address.

Is this section valid? Can perhaps someone who knows more about the topic clean it up? Klaas van Aarsen (talk) 21:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Lede ends with mysterious sentence
"The goal of a unified field theory has led to a great deal of progress for future theoretical physics, and progress continues." It's already marked "cit. needed", but over and above that, it mixes past, present and future in a confusing way. "Has led", present perfect, says progress has occurred in the recent past and its results persist: this would be fine, but how can it be true "for future theoretical physics"? I suggest dropping the sentence. Wegesrand (talk) 12:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
